Sykes Dog.

Ben: Perley Poore in the Boston Budget.
When Mr.. Lincoln heard of the scattering
of the Confederates under Hood by Gen
Thomas he was reminded of the following
anecdote: 'Out in lower Illinois, in a lit
tie village, there was a butcher named
Sykes, who had a large wicked, mischiev-
Gus bulldog, which was regarded as a
town nuisance. Fowls were killed, clothes
were pulled from the lines, lighthouses
were robbed, children were scared, and
Sykes dog was blamed for all and blamed
Justly. Now, there was man named Fen
derson, who had a fine turkey killed by
this dog of Sykes and he swore revenge.
So he took about a quarter of a pound of
nowder and did it up in a piece of buck

Then he put the bundle in large piece Of
corn bread, and had it in readiness 1t was
not long before Sykes dog came trotting
along, and Henderson, lighting the punk
with his cigar, throw the bread to the cur,
who goblNcd it at n mouthful. The next
minute there was an explosion. The dogs
head was blown over a fence into the creek,
his hind legs and tail were sent up and lodged
on Henderson's porch, his forelegs were
thrown across the street, and the rest OF the
bow-wow was laid about in small pieces.

sad smiles, las an army Hood won't find it

rats" fused to lie awake sometimes in order
to watch their pranks by the light of my
camp fire. Their antics and gambols re-
minded me of young kittens at play. They
often appeared TO be at game of tag "
They look like common rats, save they are
lighter in color, their tails shorter and
thicker, and their noses less pointed. They
live in hollow trees and in the rocks.
But the very funny thing is that, though
they are born thieves, little kleptOmaniacS

"a queer thing, too, is the fact that they rare

knives, hid under pile of rubbish, that had
been brought there by the little thieves.
Where they came from don't know, but
do know that they carried off in turn a
whole box of 1915 Winchester cartridges"
laughed and replied:
well, | have your cartridges, and you
probably have my spoons, for out of a dozen
